I agree there is a commonality to morality that doesn't exist with other things that are classified as subjective, such as people's favorite color. People may disagree on what actions are considered just, for example, but they might all agree that justice is something that is morally good and injustice as immoral. I would prefer calling it a shared moral umbrella, because we may not share any commonality in its execution.
Of what use is a moral stricture that people don't recognize as such?
